The authors present an analysis of the mitigation of the Rayleigh fading effect for wideband direct sequence pseudonoise signaling. The reduction of the Rayleigh fading effect is an advantage of code division multiple access (CDMA) over narrowband transmission systems and it eases the burden of CDMA power control. A general expression for the standard deviation of the received wideband signal power is derived. It is shown how the standard deviation decreases as the bandwidth spreading increases. The authors also analyzes the time correlation needed for other analyses (e.g., CDMA power control).< >

Storage capacity and retrieval dynamics of autoassociative neural memories (ANMs) are investigated. An associative memory capacity measure based on the memory's performance versus the number of stored memory vectors (where performance is defined in terms of the memory's error-correcting ability and its fundamental memories' attraction volumes) is introduced. The proposed capacity/performance measure has been tested for several ANMs having the same dynamic Hopfield-memory-like architecture, each using a different recording technique. Correlation, generalized inverse (orthogonal), and Ho-Kashyap memory recordings have been investigated. Monte Carlo analysis has been performed on ANMs recorded with randomly generated patterns in order to determine and compare performance characteristics and retrieval dynamics

Packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) allows a group of spatially dispersed terminals to transmit packet voice and data over a common channel. A means to model and evaluate the effects of packet transmission errors on PRMA is developed. PRMA is considered in the context of a cellular system, and the effects of fading on the performance of PRMA are studied. PRMA performance is assessed in terms of system capacity, outage, and cellular efficiency when the transmission channel is subject to slow and fast fading. It is shown that for fast-fading channels simple forward-error correction is sufficient for acceptable system performance. In slow-fading channels, however, other techniques such as selection diversity are required.< >

We have had excellent success, and user productivity increases, with a research project which provided computer‐generated video‐type output of physics calculations. Now we are investigating ways to provide this visualization capability to many users in a networked environment. We see the need for networking with channel speeds in the 800‐Mbit/s between machines. A basic building block to achieve this capability is the High‐Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) being worked on in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Task Group X3T9.3. The HIPPI provides a point‐to‐point channel with speeds of 800 and 1600 Mbit/s (100 and 200 MByte/s). Industry interest is very high, and vendors are starting to produce hardware. Los Alamos is also working with some vendors on computernetworks built around the HIPPI, crossbar switches, and intelligent network interfaces. A project is also underway to develop a fiber‐optic transport media to support the higher layer protocols of HIPPI, the Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI) and the Small computer Systems Interface (SCSI).

The Command Support At-Sea Experiment (CS@SE) provides experimental advanced graphics display systems consisting of large screen color displays and operator console color displays in the combat information center (CIC) of an Aegis cruiser and in the tactical flag command center (TFCC) of an aircraft carrier. CS@SE systems are designed to prototype potential command support capabilities in an at-sea environment to validate and refine requirements for planned production system upgrades. These systems use sophisticated color graphics techniques to provide real-time tactical displays that improve the availability of information to an operator by reducing clutter through the use of color, area fill, transparen overlays and intensity coding of track symbols. Interfaces wen developed with the Aegis Display System (ADS), Shipboarc Gridlock System with Auto-correlation (SGS/AC), Flag Dats Display System (FDDS) and Tomahawk Engagement Planning and Exercise Evaluation System (TEPEE) that provided the data for the presentation of a tactical display. Display elements included both real-time and over-the-horizon (OTH) surface track data, velocity leaders, tags, uncertainty ellipses, and history trails. The display also included filled land masses, country boundaries, commercial airways, cities, graphics overlays (i.e., operational areas), weapon system missile performance contours, and engagement plans. This paper describes the experiment, its installation and integration into the shipboard environments of an Aegis cruiser (USS Leyte Gulf ) and an aircraft carrier (USS America , its usage by the ships companies and embarked staffs, and the experiment result! and findings. Key conclusions of the experiment are: 1 Advanced graphics color displays can significantly enhance the ability of the warfighter to assimilate a complex tactical display. 2 Both ships reported a requirement for a correlated OTH and real-time track display with the ability to clearly differentiate the two types

At Los Alamos National laboratory, site of one of the world's most powerful scientific supercomputing facilities, a prototype network for an environment that links supercomputers and workstations is being developed. Driven by a need to provide graphics data at movie rates across a network from a supercomputer to a scientific workstation, the network is called the Multiple Crossbar network (MCN). It is intended to be a coarsely-grained, loosely-coupled, general-purpose multicomputer framework that will vastly increase the speed at which supercomputers communicate with each other in large networks. The components of the network are described, as well as work done in collaboration with vendors who are interested in providing commercial products.

The high-speed channel (HSC) is a simple high-performance, point-to-point channel for transmitting digital data at peak data rates of 800 or 1600 Mb/s. The transmission distance between data-processing equipment using copper cabling can be up to 25 m. A distance-independent protocol allows the average data rate to approach the peak data rate. This is a benefit for future, fiber-optic version of the HSC. The HSC and its uses are described, followed by a description of the efforts to develop an ANSI standard for the HSC.< >

A 512-by-512-pixel by 8-bits-per-pixel frame buffer has been designed, constructed, and installed on a 48-Mb/s I/O channel of a Cray X-MP 4/16 supercomputer. This project was undertaken to test whether such a system would be useful and, if so, how it would be used. Supporting software provides the ability to convert vector graphics description files into raster format, to show raster movies interactively, and to show vector files by real-time conversion from vector to raster formats. It has been shown that real-time animations in an interactive supercomputer environment is feasible and useful with this system.< >

In this paper we shall present some new results obtained from an application of Positive System Theory [1] to the problem of designing combined routing and flow control strategies for data communication networks. This application permits treating the combined routing and flow control problem in the framework of system stabilization and results in a hierarchical control scheme. The overall control effort consists of a distributed computation of a set of routing parameters at the lower level of network nodes and a computation on a slower time-scale of a set of combined parameters by a Supervisor (network Control Center) at a higher hierarchical level. Specific algorithms are presented for adaptive updating of these parameters in order to realize improved network performance taking into account multiple objectives of end-to-end delay, throughput and nodal buffer management. The combined routing and flow control problem is attaining a great deal of importance in the recent times. This is due to the fact that the routing schemes and the flow control schemes implemented in existing data networks are designed independent of each other, where-as it has recently been determined [2,3] that a high degree of interplay exists between the two forms of control which has to be taken into account for realizing improved network performance. It has also been determined that a hierarchical control structure provides a very useful mechanism for an integration of routing and flow control [4,5].
